Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Please visit my profile to learn more about my services.

You may feel like you should have everything figured out by now. The truth is, most people don’t. College can bring a lot of pressure, academically, socially, and personally. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, lonely, or navigating relationship challenges, or questioning your direction about what comes next. Many students I work with come to therapy because something in their life doesn’t feel quite right. Sometimes that means exploring the stress happening right now, and other times it means getting curious about past experiences or childhood dynamics that may still be shaping patterns in relationships, self-confidence, or how you handle difficult emotions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in helping you better understand yourself while also building practical tools to manage stress and feel steadier. Therapy with me doesn’t have to feel stiff or overly clinical; humor, swearing, and showing up as your real self are all welcome here. My office is located by a GVSU Laker Line bus stop and is about a 10-minute walk. You don’t have to sort everything out on your own. Reach out if you're ready to start getting the support you need!

Ready to unf#ck your nervous system? Let’s be completely real, you can’t think your way out of a survival response. If analyzing your childhood or making endless coping-skill lists worked, you wouldn't be reading this right now. Numbing out, doom-scrolling, or pushing through the exhaustion makes complete sense, until it doesn't.I don't do standard talk therapy. I don't sit silently while you vent for 50 minutes just to tell you to breathe. At The Unfiltered Couch Counseling, we go straight to the root, in your body. When you are stuck in constant survival mode, chronic illness flares up, burnout takes over, and your brain feels constantly foggy. Using specialized somatic approaches like Brainspotting, EMDR, and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), we target where stress and trauma are physically trapped in your nervous system. We clear out the heavy, physical weight in your chest and stomach so your body finally gets the memo that the danger is over.If you are ready for raw honesty, deep somatic shifts, and a therapist who actually curses back, you’re in the right place. Let's get your system back online.

At Journey Life Counseling, your experience will be individualized to meet your needs. We will explore your goals and find ways to achieve them in a way that is manageable and practical for you. You may not have been able to choose your past, but you can choose to make changes in the present and create a better future. Let’s learn more about your story and what has led you here, and explore what comes next, together.

The transition to college is huge and especially challenging after years of having life structured for you. Let’s work together to help you feel better and get back on track to bring out the best version of you. We will work on ways to cope with anxiety, clean up self-talk, and work on boundaries if need be. We can work on creating some structure with some flexibility that works for you. I can help you with regaining focus and getting back on track. I look forward to hearing from you!

Welcome to my practice! My approach to therapy is relational, culturally aware, and grounded in deep respect for each client’s unique story. I want to hear YOUR story and help you find your "a-ha!" moment. My therapy style is to integrate psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and humanistic principles to support a deeper understanding of the self and the inner systems that influence thoughts and emotions. I believe that healing is a collaborative process, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to take an active role in their healing journey, develop self-compassion, and create lasting change.

I’m excited to work with college students during this unique part of their journey in life. I specialize in trauma, drug abuse, and of course mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety. So feel free to call/text/e-mail me today to answer any questions you may have about therapy.

At Crossroads Psychological Center, I'm here to help guide you as you continue your journey, providing you with the most current and effective treatments for a wide variety of mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder. I also provide comprehensive neuropsychological and psychological assessments for individuals with various problems, such as ADHD, Memory Loss, Substance Use, and TBIs.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or like you're carrying invisible weight no one else can see? Whether you're juggling classes, navigating relationships, questioning your identity, or dealing with family or cultural pressure, you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m Tsuki, and I specialize in working with students who often feel like they don’t quite “fit the mold.” Many of the students I support are BIPOC, neurodivergent (ADHD, Autistic, AuDHD), and LGBTQIA+, and they're trying to make sense of who they are while moving through complex systems that weren’t built with them in mind. In therapy, your whole self is welcome — even the parts that feel messy or misunderstood. I offer online therapy in English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese and bring a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to our work together. Therapy with me is collaborative, flexible, and always grounded in respect for who you are and what you need. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, identity questions, or just feeling stuck — I’m here to help.

I approach counseling holistically with cognitive-behavioral, trauma focused, emotion focused, and mindfulness-based techniques. Grief and loss, premarital and marriage, anxiety, and depression are all in my areas of specialty and certification.

I enjoy working with clients to gain insight into the challenges they face and to develop a plan to overcome them. Because everyone comes to therapy with unique issues and values, I use an individualized approach to meet your specific needs, incorporating research-based techniques that draw from mindfulness-based therapies, cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and motivational interviewing. Providing compassion, support, and feedback, I create a safe and caring environment that promotes growth, healing, and empowerment. I enjoy helping clients discover their existing strengths, find hope for the future, and overcome difficulties to achieve their goals. I have extensive experience providing gender-specific counseling services to women for issues including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, ADHD, domestic violence, relationships, parenting, anger, grief, and sexual orientation issues. I have also completed specialized training in the treatment of substance use disorders and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders. I believe my role as a therapist is to both support and challenge you in ways that help you grow, heal, and reach your goals. If you are interested in partnering with me to improve your life and relationships, please contact me to discuss appointment options.​

Because better relationships start with better self-understanding. Insight-focused counseling for individuals and couples who want to thrive — not just cope. College is a time that can be filled with many highs and many lows. It is a time of transition, change, exploration, and identity development. This can bring up parts of yourself and your relationships that are unfamiliar and new. I desire to be a safe place for you to process this stage in your life as an individual and help equip you with tools and techniques to tackle the problems facing your unique development.

I have extensive experience working with people who have experienced loss in their life. I have worked many years in the hospice setting and it would be my honor to help you find hope and meaning. I enjoy working with adults struggling through a life transition, college stress, medical issue, professional burnout, caregiver burnout, trauma, anxiety/perinatal anxiety, or grief. My clients desire to connect to an internal sense of sturdiness that allows them to live more empowered, hopeful and meaningful lives. I have a clinical specialty working with people who are struggling to find connection in their relationships and are at a crossroad in their life (divorce, grief & loss, new parents, affair recovery, professional burnout). I would be honored to help you make sense of your life and rebuild again. I strive to provide a compassionate, gentle, safe, and trustworthy environment that fosters a strong, therapeutic relationship. I operate from a holistic therapy approach that is person-centered and draws on the strengths of my clients. My approach integrates a variety of theories to help clients gain a better understanding of themselves and their emotions. I am dedicated to creating a non-judgmental and empathic space where my clients feel seen and heard. I value and honor the unique story of each client, as well as the vulnerability it takes to reach out for support. Together, we will hold curiosity about your struggles and begin a journey of growth and healing.

Now accepting new clients! My sessions are all virtual, and I work with clients throughout the state of Michigan. For a productive experience in therapy, I feel it’s very important for a client to find a therapist whose approach is right for them. My approach to therapy is client-centered. I listen without judgement and help guide you toward finding the answers that are already inside of you. My goal is to make you feel safe and comfortable while empowering you to make progress toward your goals. Throughout our lives, we are all socialized in different ways to abandon our true natures. We often make choices to fit in or meet expectations even when those choices don’t align with what is best for us. Through therapy, you can take steps to create a life and develop relationships that are meaningful and authentic. My specialties include anxiety, depression, and intimacy and relationships. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, including couples. I have significant experience working with teenagers on issues of anxiety, emotion regulation, relationships, and identity. I am passionate about the mind-body connection and tailoring sessions to meet each client's needs.

Hello my name is Maureen, and I’m a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of psychotherapy experience, and everyone is welcome in my practice. I live in Lapeer County, Michigan and have strong ties to Detroit and surrounding area. My therapy practice is via telehealth. I’ve worked with people who have had a wide range of challenges and who needed the help of a compassionate and skilled therapist. Because of my many years of working with a very diverse population of people, I’ve been able to create a very eclectic style that I believe takes the best of each therapy model and am able to create a very tailored treatment for each person who allows me to help them on their journey. I help people to recognize and utilize their strengths and believe that people have the best answers for themselves and need to learn how to find them and use them for their continued growth. I love using interventions that combine supportive and goal directed strategies as well as focusing on the mind-body connection. My favorite form of therapy is Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. I’m also trained in Attachment Therapy, EMDR, CBT and many others. I’ve always invested a lot of time and energy into improving my skills for the benefit of my clients, so I frequently attend continuing education seminars and conferences. I’m an Open Path provider (for people who need to pay based on their ability to afford it). I'm also a Give an Hour provider and donate pro-bono services for our military, veterans and their families. I value the opportunity to help everyone get the therapy that they need.

Hello! We specialize in assisting with anxiety and depression, perfectionistic tendencies, ADHD, trauma, grief and loss, relationship concerns, familial concerns, lifestyle transitions and increased communication and motivation. We work with many students and will be happy to help you feel your best.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Michigan. My education consists of a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Writing from Grand Valley State University and a Master of Arts in Counselor Education, Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Michigan University. My professional experience to date encompasses work with children, adolescents, young adults, women, men, families, couples, and groups. My clinical practice has spanned diverse settings, such as private practice, community mental health agencies, and university counseling centers. Individuals commonly seek therapeutic services to address a wide range of personal, emotional, professional, and relational challenges, among other issues impacting their well-being and development. My approach to therapy is rooted in an integrative framework with the client at the center and consists of assisting individuals in becoming more effective and self-reliant when resolving problems. I utilize a combination of different theoretical methods including Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My attention to detail has been crucial when assessing clients’ needs, understanding their unique situations, and tailoring interventions to help them succeed and excel in different facets of their lives. I pride myself on supporting the needs of those I work with with respect, empathy, and gentleness. Some of my clinical areas of interest include anxiety, depression, trauma, self-compassion, identity development, relationship concerns, family matters, adjusting to change, and advocating for underserved/underrepresented populations. As a Black woman, I take pride in providing culturally sensitive services and support amongst all populations I work with. Compassion, active listening and responsiveness have helped me in building strong therapeutic relationships with my clients. My intention in therapy is to develop a secure and reassuring space to uplift clients while promoting advocacy and empowerment as they work towards their personal goals along their mental health and wellness journey. I do so by fostering resilience, coping skills, and self-awareness through open dialogue, effective treatment planning, and skill introduction and implementation in sessions. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, I aspire to support individuals in creating positive, lasting changes in their lives. In an effort to maintain my own mental health and overall wellbeing I like to engage in self-care by spending time with my loved ones, listening to music and podcasts, attending concerts and live shows, exercising (I love Step Aerobics and trying random classes), journaling, going on solo dates, traveling, exploring new spaces and activities, creative projects, sleeping in on off days, and spending time in solitude (I'm an introvert and sometimes have to recharge my social battery). Just as I encourage clients to nurture their inner world, I remain committed to my own growth and balance—believing that a grounded therapist creates the safest space for transformation to unfold. I believe that healing is not a one-size-fits all process, and I am honored to walk alongside each client as they reclaim their voice, deepen their self understanding, and move toward a life that feels more whole, empowered, and true to them.
